Baked Ginger Sesame Boxing Chicken

I load up some chicken wings when they were on sale two weeks ago. Instead of the usual grilling I tried making Boxing Chicken. Boxing Chicken is a common finger food served at cocktail parties or get together in Malaysia. It is basically chicken wings with the meat pushed off the bone up to the end to form a ‘boxing glove’ look…thus the name. This is my version of the chicken dish. Instead of deep frying it, I baked them in the oven. It might not have the crispy effect but the taste and flavor are just as good as the fried ones.

1. To prepare the chicken - first remove the excess fat, with a sharp knife cut around the thin end of the drummettes until the skin and sinewy bits are separated from the bone. Pull the meat down with the help of a knife and you will get a little chicken lollipop. Repeat with the rest of the drummettes.
2. Marinate the chicken for at least 4 hours or overnight. Pre-heat the oven to 400 degree F. Line the baking pan with aluminum foil. Drizzle some olive oil on it.
3. Place the drummettes on the baking pan, bake for 30-40 minutes (depend on the size of your drummettes) until browned and cooked through.
4. Sprinkle some toasted sesame seeds and serve warm or at room temperature.

Gert,I would be so hopeless at trying to make the drummets look like a boxing glove.Infact, I think the chicken will hancur!!!When you visit me, you must teach me how to do this...promise?My air liur meleleh tengok this dish...hungry leh!

Oh my...you really make me very hungry now. I'm actually on a strict diet starting yesterday but I think I cannot stand it anymore....coz there are too many delicious food from all the bloggers...and here you are!!!

Strangely, I was just thinking abt Boxing Chicken yesterday as I was craving for some kind of chicken dish (fried, or roasted) and today, I saw it here :D ....the only way to curb my craving is to make it!
